Chapter 26:
"Zoe! How nice of you to finally show up. Guy wants to see you in his office." Connie demanded whilst continually looking at her watch to remind Zoe of just how late she was.
"Sorry about that, my neighbour had an emergency so technically I was working, just not here. Also, I will see Guy when I get the chance." Zoe retaliated in a voice that tried to remind Connie who was boss.
"I have completed all of the admin you left for me so there is no excuse as to why you cannot visit Guy now." Connie seemed adamant to get Zoe to visit Guy at that precise moment.
"Thank you for that Connie, but I do still have more admin to do." She said and at this moment Max rushed through the ED doors with two coffee's in his hand.
"And I have to deal with members of my staff who arrive late. MAX, here now please." Zoe demanded.
"Zoe, you're hardly one to speak. Now please just go and see Guy. I can hold the fort down here for the meanwhile." Connie had a slight plead in her voice which made Zoe give in.
"Okay, okay. I'll go now." Zoe replied
"Morning Boss, sorry I'm late but I have a good excuse and I brought you a coffee." He said turning his back to Connie and winking at Zoe making her smile before handing her the other cup of coffee.
"Well, I'd love to hear it this story. I'm going up for a meeting with Guy so we're going to have to walk and talk I'm afraid." Zoe said smiling falsely at Connie before strutting away with Max closely following behind her.
Once they were away from the hectic ED Max and Zoe decided to take the long route to Guy Self's office meaning they had more time together but it also meant that they would have to climb a large amount of stairs.
"Are you sure you want to go this way to his office Zo, I mean I know you love my company but all these stairs in those heels..." Max said before they started to climb the mountain of stairs.
"Max, you are forgetting I did your job in the exact same shoes. Don't underestimate my ability to walk in heels." She said whilst winking at Max which caused him to laugh.
"So then why were you late this morning?" Zoe said as a nurse walked past them and smiled.
"Well you see there is this girl and she is pretty special to me so when she pulled me back into bed how could I say no?" He said grinning at Zoe.
"Well, I guess that is a pretty good reason but I suggest if Connie asks you tell her that you got up late, lost your bus pass and then had to walk."
"Do you make up a back story for all of the guys you sleep with and make late?"
"Only the really special ones."
